Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 But in the seventh year Jehoiada boldly formed a conspiracy with the following unit commanders: Jeroham's son Azariah, Jehohanan's son Ishmael, Obed's son Azariah, Adaiah's son Maaseiah, and Zichri's son Elishaphat. | 1 In the seventh year Jehoiada showed his strength. He made a covenant with the commanders of units of a hundred: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zicri. |
2 They went throughout Judah recruiting the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the family heads of Israel, who then came to Jerusalem. | 2 They went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites and the heads of Israelite families from all the towns. When they came to Jerusalem, |
3 The entire assembly made a covenant with the king in God's temple. Jehoiada said, "Look! Here is the king's son. He must be king, just as the LORD promised about David's descendants. | 3 the whole assembly made a covenant with the king at the temple of God. Jehoiada said to them, "The king's son shall reign, as the LORD promised concerning the descendants of David. |
4 This is what you must do: A third of you priests and Levites coming on sabbath duty will guard the gates | 4 Now this is what you are to do: A third of you priests and Levites who are going on duty on the Sabbath are to keep watch at the doors |
5 another third will be at the royal palace, and another third will be at the Foundation Gate. Meanwhile, all the people will be in the courtyards of the LORD's temple. | 5 a third of you at the royal palace and a third at the Foundation Gate, and all the other men are to be in the courtyards of the temple of the LORD. |
6 Don't enter the LORD's temple, because only the priests or Levites on duty can do that. They are allowed to enter because they are holy, but the rest of the people must follow the LORD's requirements. | 6 No one is to enter the temple of the LORD except the priests and Levites on duty; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the other men are to guard what the LORD has assigned to them. |
7 The Levites must surround the king, each with his weapons drawn. Whoever comes near your ranks must be killed; stay near the king wherever he goes." | 7 The Levites are to station themselves around the king, each man with his weapons in his hand. Anyone who enters the temple must be put to death. Stay close to the king wherever he goes." |
8 The Levites and all Judah did everything that the priest Jehoiada ordered. They each took charge of those men reporting for duty on the Sabbath, as well as those going off duty, since Jehoiada hadn't released any divisions from duty. | 8 The Levites and all the men of Judah did just as Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each one took his men--those who were going on duty on the Sabbath and those who were going off duty--for Jehoiada the priest had not released any of the divisions. |
9 Then the priest Jehoiada gave the unit commanders King David's spears and large and small shields that were kept in God's temple. | 9 Then he gave the commanders of units of a hundred the spears and the large and small shields that had belonged to King David and that were in the temple of God. |
10 He positioned all the people, each with their weapons drawn, near the altar and the temple, stretching from the south side of the temple to the north side, so as to protect the king. | 10 He stationed all the men, each with his weapon in his hand, around the king--near the altar and the temple, from the south side to the north side of the temple. |
11 Then they brought out the king's son, crowned him, gave him the royal law, and made him king. Jehoiada and his sons anointed him as everyone cried out, "Long live the king!" | 11 Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king's son and put the crown on him; they presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, "Long live the king!" |
12 When Athaliah heard the noise made by the people running and cheering the king, she went to the people at the LORD's temple | 12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the king, she went to them at the temple of the LORD. |
13 and saw the king standing by the royal pillar at the entrance, with the commanders and trumpeters beside the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers accompanied by musical instruments were leading the praise. Athaliah ripped her clothes and screamed, "Treason! Treason!" | 13 She looked, and there was the king, standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and singers with musical instruments were leading the praises. Then Athaliah tore her robes and shouted, "Treason! Treason!" |
14 Then the priest Jehoiada brought out the unit commanders who were in charge of the army. "Take her out under guard," he told them, "and kill anyone who follows her." This was because the priest had said, "She must not be executed in the LORD's temple. | 14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops, and said to them: "Bring her out between the ranks and put to the sword anyone who follows her." For the priest had said, "Do not put her to death at the temple of the LORD. |
15 They arrested her when she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate at the royal palace. She was executed there. | 15 So they seized her as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and there they put her to death. |
16 Jehoiada then made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they would be the LORD's people. | 16 Jehoiada then made a covenant that he and the people and the king would be the LORD's people. |
17 Then all the people went to Baal's temple and tore it down, smashing its altars and images into pieces. They executed Baal's priest Mattan in front of the altars. | 17 All the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. |
18 Jehoiada appointed the priests and Levites in charge of the LORD's temple, and then appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites that David had assigned to the LORD's temple to offer entirely burned sacrifices to the LORD, as written in the Instruction from Moses, with rejoicing and singing, just as David had ordered. | 18 Then Jehoiada placed the oversight of the temple of the LORD in the hands of the priests, who were Levites, to whom David had made assignments in the temple, to present the burnt offerings of the LORD as written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and singing, as David had ordered. |
19 He posted guards at the gates of the LORD's temple so that no one who was unclean in any way could enter | 19 He also stationed doorkeepers at the gates of the LORD's temple so that no one who was in any way unclean might enter |
20 Then he took the unit commanders, the officials, the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land, and they led the king down from the LORD's temple, processing through the Upper Gate to the palace, where the king sat upon the royal throne. | 20 He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land and brought the king down from the temple of the LORD. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne, |
21 All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at peace now that Athaliah had been executed at the palace | 21 and all the people of the land rejoiced. And the city was quiet, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword. |

Sarris forges ahead a year after fire
Production at Canonsburg's Sarris Candies back to normal a year after fire
Norm Candelore, retail operations manager for Sarris Candies, shows the new 2,600-pound chocolate castle that replaced the one destroyed in last year's fire. The castle is in the ice cream shop that was completely restored to its original look.

CANONSBURG – On Friday morning at Sarris Candies, the chocolate rabbits were coming off production lines, pausing for an employee to affix a pastel ribbon or to carefully trim off a tiny edge of chocolate left by the mould.
Just a year ago, Feb. 3, 2012, about one-third of the production areas where Sarris employees cast and carefully put the final detailed touches on confections were destroyed by an early morning fire.
In the aftermath of the blaze, which also temporarily shut down the company's retail areas at its Adams Avenue site, company President Bill Sarris noted Sarris was able to save all of the Easter inventory it had produced because it was stored off-site in its distribution center.
Sarris said Friday that despite the fact the company lost many of its Easter moulds in the blaze, this year's Easter candy run is in full production.
"We got through last Easter with a limited amount of items available due to the fire," Chief Executive Officer Athena Sarris said in a statement.
"We lost a lot of chocolate moulds and weren't able to provide the selection we've had in years past. But this season, we'll have a huge selection of new bunnies and novelties to fill everyone's baskets."
Bill Sarris added the company also had full production for its Christmas and Valentine's Day runs.
He said he learned a valuable business lesson from the fire – one that depends on more than one basket.
"Don't put all of your eggs in one basket," Sarris said, explaining that around the time of the fire, he and other managers had been seriously considering looking for land to bring all of their operations under one roof.
In addition to its Adams Avenue site where 200 people work, it has a 150-person warehouse and distribution center about 100 yards away on Cavasina Drive. It also owns Tyrone-based Gardner Candies, where another 200 people work.
The fire put an end to consolidation plans when Sarris realized his company was able to ship its Easter products unfettered by the damaged production areas.
"We're staying right here," he said, acknowledging that for Sarris Candies, having operations that are a little decentralized turned out to be a very good thing.
As the fire was burning, he said, he could see delivery trucks picking up products at the distribution center.
In addition to being able to distribute its Easter candy inventory, Sarris said the company never had to cancel any of its orders from fundraising groups, another mainstay of its business.
While it took a couple of months for the company to recover from the fire damage – it had to completely restore its ice cream parlor and rebuild two floors of production – it managed to keep employees working.
Retail operations manager Norm Candelore noted that about 2,000 man-hours were spent rebuilding the massive, 2,600-pound "Chocolate Castle," an intricately designed centerpiece of the ice cream parlor.
Sarris said he also paid attention to what customers wanted in the aftermath of the fire.
While he and Candelore saw the destruction of the ice cream parlor as an opportunity to bring a new design to the area, longtime customers told them otherwise.
"There were a lot of memories," Sarris said. "They said, 'We want the piano back; we want the castle back.' They wanted it the way it was.
"Our name might be on the building, but we found out it's our customers' place."
The 53-year-old business was founded by Sarris' father, the late Frank Sarris, and his wife, Athena.
Over the years, the company continued to expand its market area, eventually distributing in the tri-state area. Candelore said Friday the company now distributes to Giant Eagle, Shop 'n Save and Hallmark card stores, as well as area Bed Bath & Beyond, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens stores.
Plant manager Dennis Sroka said Friday the company continues to work with insurers on the final details of putting the plant back together.
But as with many fires that do heavy damage, there are some things that may never be replaced.
"It's almost like it never happened, until you look back," Sarris said, noting that some antique metal rabbit moulds that were destroyed are probably irreplaceable.
"Some of the moulds were 50 years old when my father bought them for $6. Right now, you can't buy them for $5,000."
Some new production equipment has been purchased, but Candelore noted the type of candy-making that Sarris does requires lots of people who attend to minute details like carefully decorating each piece and artfully packaging the final product.
For those details, the company depends upon its employees, many of whom have decades of experience in candy-making operations.
"Sure, we have a lot of equipment, but we're still doing things by hand," he said.

Rovers - No bidding war for Duffy
Rovers manager Paul Dickov Dickov has revealed he will not be dragged into a bidding war for the services of Scunthorpe United winger Mark Duffy.
Rovers had an initial bid turned down by Iron boss Brian Laws last week.
And Dickov admitted a second bid had also been dismissed.
He said: "We have a valuation for Mark and we're not going to be pushed on that.
"We won't be held to ransom
"I wanted to keep the bids confidential but they've chosen to make them public.
"Maybe they're trying to get an auction going for him but we're not going to get dragged into anything like that.

Clayton News Daily
By M.J. Subiria Arauz
Delta Air Lines announced on Wednesday that it pledged $1 million in cash and in-kind support to disaster-relief efforts in Japan, in response to a devastating earthquake that wreaked havoc on the Asian nation last week.
Officials said the airline plans to assist through two relief programs. "Japan is a core part of our global network, and we are committed to finding ways to help those in need, following last week's devastating earthquake," said Vinay Dube, senior vice president of Asia-Pacific, for Delta Air Lines, in a written statement.
The airline will contribute $250,000 to the Japanese Red Cross Society, through the Delta Air Lines Foundation, a company-managed giving system, officials said.
Chris Kelly, a spokeswoman for Delta, said the Japanese Red Cross Society, a disaster-relief organization in the country, will receive the monetary donation by the end of this week.
The money was raised through donations from the airline's customers and employees, via a dedicated Delta-American Red Cross web site -- www.redcross.org -- said Kelly.
Donations made through the web site will be given directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society, to assist its efforts to aid victims in the country's affected areas, according to airline officials.
Kelly added that the web site will be open until the need for aid is met. People can continue to make monetary donations at the web site. The airline will eventually determine the next date to transfer donations, she said.
"The last time we activated the web site was when Haiti had its crisis," said Kelly.
The long-standing partnership Delta has with the American Red Cross, will also allow for complimentary cargo and passenger capacity to help move relief supplies and workers, to and from, disaster areas around the world, when needed, officials explained.
The other means of helping involves World Vision Japan, a Christian-relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to helping children, families and communities overcome poverty and injustice, according to Delta officials.
The airline will match up to 5 million SkyMiles, or flyer miles, against its customers' donations to World Vision Japan, through the airline's SkyWish Asia program. The program allows customers to donate their SkyMiles to the organization by visiting -- www.delta.com/skymiles.
World Vision Japan, officials said, is generally among the first organizations to distribute pre-positioned supplies, to begin relief work. "In addition ... Delta will supplement any employee and customer contributions with additional cash, if needed, to fulfill its $1 million pledge," said officials.
Kelly added that because of the strict international security and customs requirements, Delta only accepts relief cargo shipments through pre-approved relief organizations, such as the American Red Cross, CARE and UNICEF.
In addition, Delta is also providing relief to its employees in Japan, through Delta Employee & Retiree Care Fund, a non-profit organization led, and funded, by the airline, officials said.
"Delta's 1,200 employees in Japan, backed by our support of 80,000 worldwide, are rallying together to do what we can to make a difference, and we encourage our customers to join us by donating money or miles to our dedicated charities," said Delta's Vinay Dube.

My old washer was whining & groaning & clothes were not coming out clean & definitely not spun very dry. A friend recommended that I look at LG & I am more than pleased with my new machine. Clothes are definitely cleaner, hand wash cycle did a beautiful job & wash is spun so dry that it needs less time in the dryer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LovemyLG I love my LG washer
The LG washer with steam fresh has been a wonderful investment. I have had mine for 4 years and it hasn't had any problems. Yesterday I purchased a new one and the gas dryer for my daughter's home. Hopefully she will have the same experience as I have had. It saves water and spins the water out of the cloths so well, you can use a conventional dryer and the cloths dry in 1/2 the time. I have recently recommended LG to a friend, who were looking for a new washer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pomona Beck I really like it, it gets the clothes clean
It is easy to use, has a lot of features, it is very quiet. The only thing I would change is it is hard to see the extra feature buttons on the far right. They don't stand out very well. I would still purchase it again.

It may be New Jersey, but the pizza style is decidedly New York. Either in family or personal sizes, the pies on Original People's Pizza & Family Restaurant's menu pack toppings of ricotta cheese, fried onions, or fresh basil and can be stuffed or served in either classic New York or Sicilian slices. Fifteen years have helped the chefs add Big Apple flavor to its Italian classics in a variety of forms. There are entrees of chicken giardino, a chicken breast sauteed with mushrooms and sundried tomatoes, or scallops served with spinach and peas in a white wine sauce. Then there are the pasta dishes, which use fresh noodles to soak up garlic sauce and corral littleneck clams just the way swimming pool noodles soak up pool water and littleneck clams.
At La Posata Ristorante, guests are welcome to bring their dates, families, and bottles of wine to dinner. The family-owned BYOB hosts lunch and dinner menus with homemade pastas as the foundation for entrees of grilled eggplant with sundried tomatoes, and buffalo mozzarella or lobster with sweet peas and roasted red peppers. Homemade tiramisu or crème brulee add finishing touches to meals unless diners request showers of confetti.
Amid the verdant, golf-cart-traversed grounds of Indian Spring Country Club and Pennsauken Country Club, executive chef Dean Marco blends herbs with Maryland crab meat to make his broiled jumbo lump crab cakes. The crisp yet creamy morsels, which are Marco's signature dish, are properly placed near the top of the menu at Marco's Restaurant, above succulent meats such as filet mignon, Atlantic salmon, and whole crabs with authentic New England accents. Given both locations' proximity to the links, each kitchen also sates golfers' appetites with Angus burgers and sandwich baskets that come with optional sides such as lobster-and-shrimp bisque.
A BYOB eatery, Ristorante Marcello's Pizzeria serves a menu that merges Italian staples such as linguine and clams with innovative dishes like crab mac 'n' cheese or buffalo-eggplant bites. The kitchen team adds an element of surprise to its specialty pizzas with pies such as the cheese steak and fried onion or the Spiral pizza?which was what NFL quarterback Johnny Unitas would toss to his hungry receivers.
Lorenzo's pizza purveyors stack disks of fresh dough with a panoply of gourmet ingredients before sliding them into brick ovens to seal in a smoky redolence. Classic pies such as the sweet Hawaiian and the basil-infused margherita send taste buds back in time more quickly than wormhole-flavored toothpaste, and innovative recipes set palates ablaze with creations such as the spicy buffalo-chicken pizza adorned with wing sauce and blue cheese. Chefs saddle up the Ranchero with bacon, spinach, and tomatoes in melty mozzarella and cool ranch dressing. Greener eats include the eggplant-parmesan pizza and the Mediterranean, which flaunts its sauceless façade with roasted peppers, spinach, olives, and garlic. A savory side of garlic knots and a two-liter bottle of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, or Sprite accompany pizzas shared inside the eatery or savored at home in front of shamed frozen pizzas.
Bombay Local Pizza's chefs put a twist on Italy's beloved dish by adding Indian ingredients like paneer. The restaurant's selection of more than 20 pies includes a pizza topped with samosa filling and the Bombay Masala?seasoned with Indian spices used in traditional street foods?along with more traditional options such as tomato basil and white pizzas. Indian ingredients like mint-coriander chutney also show up on the eatery's sub sandwiches, which include the masala eggplant and the barbecue cheddar melt.

Author of the higher education bill, Rep. Gene Pelowski, DFL-Winona
A recent editorial in the Star Tribune accused the state legislature of a power grab in attempting to set tuition rates for both the University of Minnesota system and MNSCU.
They opined that politicians were not the best option for balancing price (tuition) and quality for our higher education systems.
There were a large number of questionable arguments and statements made in that editorial, but today I would like to address only one, briefly.
"The Senate amendment tacitly acknowledges that the Legislature has limited ability to tread on the Board of Regents' constitutionally protected turf. But the House seeks to coerce the regents to do the Legislature's bidding by directing state officials to refuse to release funds to the university if a tuition freeze is not adopted."
First, it should be noted that it was the University that asked the legislature to provide funds specifically for keeping tuition frozen. This was a pre-emptive strike since the general public is furious because of the level of tuition and consequent student debt load.
And second, after bringing the question of constitutional autonomy up, we find later in the same editorial this:
The Senate's omnibus high-education bill is on the right track in making five percent of the state's 2014-15 appropriations to the two systems contingent on meeting at least three of five performance goals.
So, how does this work? A little coercion is acceptable to the Star Tribune but a lot is not? Where exactly is this line to be drawn?
One of the reasons why the U is in such bad odour with the public is the perception of arrogance in the matter of constituional autonomy. You can't tell us what to do, please hand over the money. In thinking about why the Legislature has not been generous to the U in the last ten years, is it possible that this perceived arrogance had anything to do with funding levels?
There are of course ways to fix the constitutional autonomy problem, but hopefully President Kaler is more sensitive to the matter than was his predecessor. The current General Counsel is about to leave town for a new job. One of his claims to fame has been as a fierce defender of the University's constitutional autonomy. Hopefully his successor will be a little more sensitive in this matter.
[Added later]
Although the issue of constitutional autonomy was not intended to be a major focus of these brief remarks, some gentle readers may wish more information on the topic.
"The study shows that Michigan, California, and Minnesota continue as the states with the most substantial legal recognition of constitutional autonomy."
"In these states, independent constitutional authority for public colleges and universities is meant to limit exessive political inteference from other parts of the state government."

Skewed U
[Note: There has been considerable controversy over former Governor Arne Carlson's suggestion that the University of Minnesota suffers from a bloated administration. He has made this charge on his own blog as well as on the Star-Tribune commentary section. This piece was answered by the Chairman of the Board of Regents, Ms. Linda Cohen. Some further information about this dispute is offered below by my friend and fellow U of M alum, Mr. Michael McNabb. I hope readers will find it informative.]
In a guest column in the April 10 Star Tribune the chair of the Board of Regents responds to the criticism of excessive costs of administration at the U of M by Governor Carlson in his April 7 Star Tribune guest column.
Here is "the rest of the story" to the response of the Regents.
(1) "The university has realized millions of dollars of savings . . . . "
In January 2013 the U of M chief financial officer told state legislators that the administration has cut $228 million since 2006. See the January 31 Star Tribune report. From fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2012 the total operating expenses for the University were just under $17 billion. See the U of M financial reports. So the cuts amount to 1.3% of the total operating expenses. Does the administration view this as making tough choices? Or making a serious effort to control costs and tuition?
(2) "As part of our legislative request this year we have pledged to freeze Minnesota resident undergraduate tuition for two years . . . ."
The administration proposes to freeze tuition on the condition that the legislature increases state appropriations by $91.6 million for the next two years. See the September 14, 2012 Pioneer Press report.
The freeze would be limited to undergraduate tuition only (and to Minnesota residents only). The tuition for students (both resident and non-resident) in graduate and professional programs is what really compounds the crushing debt on young persons. See Whose Fault--Crushing Student Debt.
(3) "The Twin Cities campus has a lower net price (tuition, fees, room and board minus financial aid) than any other four year college in the state--public or private."
Net price does not provide any relief to the students because the administration classifies student loans as "financial aid." The Minnesota Daily describes this argument of the administration as cynical and deceptive. See Driven To Deception.
(4) "The board and the Kaler administration undertook an aggressive internal review to study . . . its administrative costs."
The Regents fail to mention that the internal study showed that the total cost of administration for fiscal year 2012 exceeded $852 million (or 28% of the total expenditures of the University). See On The Cost of Administration Part III. So their proposed $28 million reduction in administrative costs over the next two years does not make much of a dent in administrative overhead.
(5) "The column suggests that the university can operate outside the marketplace for faculty and staff salaries. . . ."
Governor Carlson limited his criticism to the compensation of administrators. He noted that universities "compare their rising costs with those of other spiraling systems and proclaim this to be the market."
The Regents should know that the law restricts the pursuit of personal wealth by the leaders of tax exempt organizations. See the Postscript to $tate of the University--A Parent's Perspective.
Society grants tax exemptions to non-profit institutions of higher education in order to promote the common good and not to enrich administrators. If the motivation of the administrators is to accumulate personal wealth, then they should seek those riches in for-profit organizations. See The Cost of "Top Talent" and The Cost of "Top Talent" Part III.
(6) "This argument ignores a reality that was unmentioned: a $140 million reduction in annual state support to the university since 2008."
Over the past decade the U of M administration has increased spending by $1 billion--despite a reduction in state appropriations. In fiscal year 2002 the total operating expenses for the University were $2,005,138,000. In fiscal year 2012 the total operating expenses were $2,948,366,000.
The fuel for this billion dollar explosion was skyrocketing tuition. In fiscal year 2002 the administration collected a net amount (after scholarships and grants) of $293,127,000 in tuition and fees. In fiscal year 2012 the net amount of tuition and fees collected was $696,278,000.
The senior administrators and the Regents have shown no mercy to the students (and their parents). This skyrocketing tuition far exceeded the reduction in state appropriations. In fiscal year 2002 the University received $643,088,000 in state appropriations. In fiscal year 2012 the amount was $572,075,000.
See pp. 17-18 of the 2002 U of M annual financial report and pp. 14-15 of the 2012 U of M annual financial report.
If the Regents are unwilling or unable to make substantial reductions in the cost of administration, then the legislature will do so for them.

[Update: The petition mentioned in this post has now been signed by more than 1,000 people including three former editors of the New England Journal of Medicine. An article has also appeared in the Star-Tribune that gives the University of Minnesota's response to the most recent developments. Please see comments on the article.]
From my friend Mike Howard:
"In November 2003, psychiatrists at the University of Minnesota used the threat of involuntary commitment to force a mentally ill young man named Dan Markingson into a very profitable, industry-funded study of antipsychotic drugs. Dan was enrolled in the study over the objections of his mother, Mary Weiss. For months Mary tried desperately to get him out of the study, warning the psychiatrists that Dan's condition was deteriorating and that he was in danger of killing himself. The psychiatrists refused to listen to her. On May 8, 2004, Dan committed suicide, and Mary lost her only child."
As of this writing nearly six hundred people have signed a petition to Governor Dayton, including 70 scholars in bioethics/health law/medical humanities. The group includes a former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.
The petition calls for an outside investigation without involvement of the University of Minnesota, especially its General Counsel who suffers from a severe conflict of interest.
As former Health Ombudsman in New Zealand (Health and Disability Commissioner, 2000-10) I am deeply disturbed to read of unethical behaviour by researchers and psychiatrists who enrolled Dan Markinson in a trial of antipsychotic drugs, when he was not competent to consent. It appears that evidence about potential harmful side effects of the prescribed drugs was suppressed. Dan's suicide may well be linked to the effect of the drugs he was prescribed, yet no one listened to his mother's cries for help to prevent the harm that ultimately ensued. It is now too late for Dan, but the University of Minnesota owes it to him and his mother to investigate what happened and put safeguards in places to prevent a similar tragedy happening again.
As a Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at a Big Ten medical school and a practicing physician, I think medical researchers and their sponsoring institutions should be held to a high standard of ethical behavior and transparency.
As the leading institution for higher learning in the state, the University of Minnesota can, and should, do better.
The coverage of this case in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and elsewhere generates reason to be deeply worried about possible research misconduct at the University of Minnesota. The potential misconduct appears to be serious enough that an independent investigation, located outside the university, is necessary.
Because I have worked in Psychiatric Research for close to 30 years and I find the response from UM and the sponsor to be unacceptable.
I have followed this particular case since it piqued my interested back a few years ago with an article in the Pioneer Press from St Paul. I have tried to keep an open mind and understand the University's denials of any wrongdoing. From everything I have been able to gather researching this I've come to the same conclusion over and over again. The UMN is wrong and they know it. Their repeated steps to block any type of independent investigation is disgusting. The University is acting exactly like the pharmaceutical company, if we can control the data then we can control the outcome. As I see it, Governor Dayton has no option but to order an investigation.
I teach biomedical ethics, and every student ever to take my class could tell you why this study design was profoundly immoral.

Whenever I go to local restaurants, I always try to strike up a conversation with the server. Here in Minneapolis, many servers are students at our numerous colleges and universities. Having worked at a restaurant while in college, I have a lot of empathy for these folks.
Sometimes I get a big surprise. This happened recently with a server who attended MCAD—the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. When he learned that I did some polymer chemistry, he asked if I knew about the male contraceptive system, being developed in India, that was polymer based. Never heard of it. One of my colleagues, the medicinal chemist Gunda Georg, has been working in this area for some time, so I try to follow the topic. Of course, it is a very important one.
So what's this about? A quick check revealed a very interesting story. A maverick Indian scientist, S.K. Guha is finally getting attention. He even scored a $100,00 grant from the Gates Foundation. This injectable polymeric system—styrene/maleic anhydride—is referred to by the acronym RISUG, short for Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance. The polymer coats the interior of the vas deferens and inactivates sperm as they pass by. The method seems to work for ten years and a reversal procedure is available. According to malecontraceptives.org: "Our research has convinced us that RISUG is the most promising of the potential male contraceptives."
So what's the problem here? Do the clinical trials, make sure the method is safe and Bob's your uncle? Not so fast there, pardner.
"We had no support from industry," said Guha. As Elaine Lisser, a San Francisco activist for male contraception put it: "To men, an ideal method would be cheap and long-lasting. To company shareholders, an ideal method would be expensive and temporary."
Now I'm not trying to push some great conspiracy theory about Big Pharm. We've heard it all before. They HAVE a cure for x, or y, or z, but they are not revealing it because they can make more money from selling drugs to treat the disease.
But in some public health matters there is no economic incentive for pharma to step in because they cannot make the kind of money they need to operate from something like RISUG. Another recent example of a rather simple approach to a serious problem that will probably not be too popular with pharma is the diagnosis of pre-cancerous cervical lesions with vinegar. See the New York Times article: Fighting Cervical Cancer with Vinegar and Ingenuity.
When vinegar is applied to the cervix, white spots may become visible. These resemble warts and may be removed by cryotherapy—freezing—using a metal probe cooled by a tank of carbon dioxide. Where there's Coke, there's CO2. This method has the potential to do for underdeveloped countries what the PAP smear has done for countries like the U.S. The death rate for cervical cancer worldwide is about 250,000. The vast majority occurring where PAP smears are not readily available to a poor population.
Intelligent use of foreign aid, Gates money, and public health research may yield more benefit than higher-tech approaches that pharma necessarily pursues.
I thank Guy Wagner, server at Pizza Luce, for calling this topic to my attention.
People who work with crystals have received an inordinate number of Nobel Prizes. Some of them receive the prize because of the importance of the compounds they have worked on. Protein crystallographers have helped to unravel the mysteries of such things as photosynthesis and how hemoglobin transports oxygen. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a treasure trove of interesting and useful results from crystallographic experiments. The prize has also been awarded to people who have invented new methods for the determination of structures from crystallographic data.
Usually, like most scientists, I read the news reports of the science prizes and try to understand what the winners did and why it is important. In this particular case, I saw most of the action as it developed.
Shechtman obtained experimental evidence – a diffraction pattern – for five-fold symmetry in what later came to be known as quasi-crystals. This is not supposed to happen. He realized the importance of this observation and proceeded to publish and defend it. According to a detailed scientific description of the work released by the Nobel folks: "The achievement of Daniel Shechtman is clearly not only the discovery of quasicrystals, but the realization of the importance of this result and the determination to communicate it to a skeptical scientific community."
His jaw-dropping discovery was initially greeted with skepticism, for example:
"When Shechtman told scientists about his discovery, he was faced with complete opposition, and some colleagues even resorted to ridicule. Many claimed that what he had observed was in fact a twin crystal. The head of the laboratory gave him a textbook of crystallography and suggested he should read it … All the commotion finally led his boss to ask him to leave the research group, as Shechtman himself recalled later."
And the most influential twin proponent at that time was Nobel laureate Linus Pauling. I consider the late chemist to be one of the greatest scientists alive then. The twin theory or model explains the experimental data by "twinning" or the interpenetration of two – at least – separate crystals. It is a well known phenomenon that can lead to very strange diffraction patterns. I heard Pauling give a talk on his twinning theory that I found absolutely convincing. But then, I was a fan. Pauling later had to amend his initial twinning model, but by that time the evidence had mounted – from all over the world – that the quasi-crystal phenomenon could not be explained simply by twinning.
Upon first making his observation, Shechtman reports saying to himself: "Eyn chaya kazo" (Hebrew for: "There can be no such creature"). No doubt he realized the heat he would take for reporting this discovery.
מזל טוב, Professor Shechtman.

I didn't want to attend this conference because I knew that it would be difficult and painful. Like having your wisdom teeth pulled without anesthesia.
As my colleague, bioethicist Carl Elliot, put it: "Only 16 percent of academic health centers in this country will pay the medical bills for research subjects who are injured in clinical trials. None will pay for lost wages and suffering. And an ethicist is arguing that we all have a duty to sign up for these trials? Give me a break."
But Carl was not able to attend this conference and I knew that Mary Weiss, the mother of Dan Markingson, would be there. Her son died in connection with a clinical trial at the University of Minnesota that has become notorious. I wanted to offer moral support. I met her – for the first time – before the start of the conference. She seemed in control, and we had a pleasant conversation, but I was concerned. After the first talk, on the pro side, she had to leave. I could understand why.
My original intention was to try to present a dispassionate description here of the pros/cons of the question outlining the case made by each side. But I can't. At first I was offended that my university would put on such a conference given our terrible record with clinical trials in the past. It seemed hypocritical. But in retrospect, I thank the Center for Bioethics for broaching the subject. During the conference most of the points that needed to be made came out. Professor Joan Liashenko did the heavy lifting of organizing and running the conference.
I was particularly impressed by two African-American women who persistently questioned the claim that treating research participation as a moral obligation would actually help the minority community. Henrietta Lacks came up during the discussion. I later learned that one of these women is a bioethicist and the other the president of the Minnesota Black Nurse's Association.
Which brings me to the first problem I have with the title proposition. Cui bono? And I maintain that the answer is overwhelmingly the pharmaceutical industry. This proposition finds support in the Lysaught presentation cited below.
But what really frosted me was the "moral obligation" business. Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, thou shalt participate in clinical research?
The argument that it's just like paying taxes or giving to charity seems absurd to me. As one of the participants put it, the consequences of paying taxes are not nearly as great as losing one's life, or being blinded. And for what? Mostly to justify supposedly new clinical therapies for pharma?
And as for charity… Most of us believe, even if we don't believe in a God, that we are our brother's and sister's keepers. When we give to charity, if we are so inclined, we can do a little investigation. We can find, if we wish, something about the percent of money that actually goes to use in a charity and how much goes to administration.
Most patients are not capable of making scientific judgments about whether a clinical trial is worthwhile. Many doctors and people who sit on institutional review boards are not. To claim that people should risk themselves, out of beneficence, to participate in a clinical trial is unreasonable. Certainly to declare it to be a moral obligation is wrong.
I was upset by the use of the term "moral obligation" because I think this means something far beyond "this would be a good idea." I don't think there is support for the proposition in the works of, for example, Kant or John Stuart Mill. But these arguments are dense and not easily capsulized for this forum.
I did find a wonderful talk by Professor Susan Wolf of the University of North Carolina, who gave the Frumke lecture at NYU entitled: "Moral Obligations and Social Commands." This talk examines the concept of what a moral obligation is and gives examples. To claim that participation in research is a moral obligation does not seem to pass the Wolf Test. This outstanding lecture is available in hard copy here and even, mirabile dictu, on YouTube.
It was an exhausting day. Certainly caused a Brainstorm. I drove one of the speakers to the airport and came home. Took three beers to return to earth.

Senate rejects GOP plan cutting taxes, regulations
November 10, 2011 - 2:26 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) — A divided Senate has killed a Republican plan that would cut income tax rates, repeal the new health care law and block or overturn dozens of environmental, labor and energy rules.
Thursday's 46-40 vote was mostly along party lines.
The plan faced certain defeat in the Democratic-led Senate. Still, Republicans wanted to offer their vision for fixing the economy — the main issue in the 2012 elections.
The GOP plan was offered as an amendment to a bill aimed at helping unemployed veterans find jobs.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - State and federal water agencies are seeking an investigation into whether some California farmers are taking water released from upstream dams intended for consumers in other regions of the state.
The Sacramento Bee reports the California Department of Water Resources and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation are calling on the state board that oversees water rights to investigate possible water diversion by farmers in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
In a July 23 letter, the two powerful water agencies ask the State Water Resources Control Board to use new emergency powers granted by drought legislation passed earlier this year.
Delta landowners have denied the allegations.
Meanwhile the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, a group allied with Delta landowners, has countered by filing a formal complaint alleging DWR and Reclamation are illegally diverting water from rivers that flow into the Delta.

Los Angeles – Johnny Depp will play a villain in the next Batman film.
The actor was linked to the role of The Riddler earlier this year and now one of the superhero franchise's stars Sir Michael Caine has confirmed both Johnny and Philip Seymour Hoffman will appear.
"I was with a Warner Bros executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said, 'Yeah'," said Michael – who played Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
"I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath Ledger as The Joker? And he says, 'I'll tell you how you top Heath – Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'Shit, they've done it again!' " he continued.
Johnny recently described the prospect of playing The Riddler as "fun".
"I heard about that. It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah," he said.
Work is expected to begin on the next movie, starring Christian Bale as Batman, some time next year. – Bang Showbiz.com
Source: News24.com
According to part-time-poet, posted at The Zone:
It's not a "false report," because Michael Caine did make the comments, but it's false in the sense that it's something said tongue-in-cheek that is being taken seriously. Michael Caine is joking around with the reporter, but he has a very deadpan wit, and–as is often the case with Johnny–something he said as a joke gets picked up and reported seriously in the press. (Think of all the press conferences JD has had with Tim Burton where they joke about what their next movie together will be, and those joke-projects get reported as real possibilities.)
This is not any kind of confirmation of the Riddler casting from Michael Caine; it's quite the opposite. It's another indication that the rumor should not be taken seriously, but some people reporting the story missed the point.
Sep 11 liss says:
So it's true? He's playing the Riddler?
Sep 14 Hayden says:
Wow, wouldn't that be absolutely AMAZING? I loved the Dark Knight, and all of the Batman movies/comics, so to see Johnny Depp in a Batman film would be so cool. Johnny Depp would do a remarkable job as the Riddler. He always does.
Sep 14 Hayden says:
Also, when are you going to change the layout?
Sep 14 Luciana says:
I don't have idea when we'll change the layout, Hayden.
Sep 16 liss says:
When I heard about him playing the Riddler the first time, it was like a rumor, so I'm so happy that it's true. Johnny Depp will make the movie.
Sep 17 Bruce says:
The layout is beautiful dont have to ever be changed
Sep 23 Naiomi says:
This site is GREAT! although I it would be nice if there were more videos of Johhny
(interviews)Is Johnny in LA Luciana?
would love to know!!thanks
Nov 03 kimberly says:
I can't wait I wonder what it will b like
Dec 24 Erin says:
im so happy he is playing the riddler. and i would also love to act in this film, but i have no idea how to make this dream of mine come true. if anyone knows, please please let me know through my email (email@example.com). thanks

When I mentioned the "pick of the week" idea to my awesome manager John Enck (@johnenck if you can get him to tweet I'll buy you a beer) he said "be careful if you commit to doing it weekly, you have to do it". I assured him this was not an issue, and then of course I missed a week. It will happen, but I'm trying to get at least two or three of these, per month. On to the good stuff….
San Francisco, California http://www.gwos.com
GroundWork was one of the first companies to package up open source monitoring components into a commercial offering, which includes the ever popular Nagios engine, into a supported, tested, and well maintained monitoring product offering. This created a natural path for those using Nagios, who wanted support, a more advanced product, and a consistent deployment model. Over the years GroundWork has become quite a different animal, with advanced portal technology, topological awareness and discovery, event correlation, and the ability to scale the solution for large and demanding environments. The next step in the maturation process, was driven by customers who wanted to build solutions incorporating the monitoring data, GroundWork then re-built the core architecture with a robust API layer allowing for diverse use cases of monitoring data, including custom portals or other mashups. The evolution of the company moved them further into the concept of unified monitoring they improved the ability to monitor network devices, hypervizors and have been focused on support for multiple public and private cloud platforms. This unified monitoring platform has been gaining momentum and the customers have been shifting from Nagios up sells into those which need an extensible monitoring platform based on open standard components.
The main reason I wanted to highlight them is based on research we published towards the end of last year Colin Fletcher and I published (http://blogs.gartner.com/jonah-kowall/2013/11/12/unified-monitoring-note-presentation-and-client-interest/) highlighted the need for these unified monitoring tools combined with log analysis. GroundWork is one example of a company who has done this. They have taken the open source ELK stack (highlighted in this blog post : http://blogs.gartner.com/jonah-kowall/2014/04/13/monitoring-technology-pick-week-of-april-7th-elasticsearch/) and incorporated it into the GroundWorks solution. Today it's a portlet within the product, and there isn't the management tooling needed around the ELK components, but this is a beta product. The future product should better manage the data, and integrate the search and reporting components coming from the ElasticSearch tooling. The feedback from the customer base has been clear, people want this pairing. In fact they did a survey across 400 of their users:
Key Study findings:
- 37 percent of unified monitoring users are reviewing their IT logs via manual text search; 33 percent are already using log analysis software
- 96 percent find the ability to combine log field data with other monitoring event data into a single search tool and/or dashboard important
- 42 percent of users claim they do not have enough time to start analyzing their IT log data; 18% say the cost is too high
These study findings echoed Gartner's latest report, "Modernize Your Monitoring Strategy by Combining Unified Monitoring and Log Analytics Tools," on how to better manage today's complex and dynamic IT environments.
This is quite close to our findings at the last Gartner Data Center Conference across 114 attendees who responded to our audience polling during our presentation titled "The Elusive Promise of Unified Monitoring: How to Monitor Infrastructure and Applications".
- 22% had centralized log analysis tooling
- 46% had tactical or dispirit log analysis
- 39% had no log analysis
This is music to the log analysis vendors ears

Jennifer Aniston has said that she doesn't have a wedding dress yet, but there's a good reason why she's not rushing to marry her fiance, Justin Theroux.
"We just want to do it when it's perfect, and we're not rushed, and no one is rushing from a job or rushing to a job," the "We're the Millers" actress told the Associated Press. "And, you know, we already feel married."
Watch Jennifer Aniston Strip Down in "We're the Millers" Trailer
Aniston, 44, and Theroux, 41, got engaged on his birthday last August after dating for more than a year. After a few months, however, tabloids began to question why the couple had yet to say "I do," even reporting that Theroux was having doubts about getting married at all. According to Aniston, all of those rumors are false.
"We have yet to set any dates. There have been no cancelled weddings. There have been no postponed weddings," she said. "There have been no arguments about where to get married. Just clearing all that up."
Jennifer Aniston Shares How to Get Her Bikini Body
Instead, Aniston has been heavily focused on her career of late, promoting "We're the Millers" alongside Jason Sudeikis, and filming "Squirrels to the Nuts" while looking nearly unrecognizable in a brunette wig.
She's also focusing on fitness, perhaps to make sure she's picture perfect on her big day.
"I can never stress enough to my friends that they must do as I do … hydrate, hydrate, hydrate," she said earlier this month. "Drink lots of water, get enough sleep, exercise and eat a clean healthy diet, whenever possible."

Houston — A few wintry days and frigid mornings are likely for the Houston region after a strong cold front pushed through the area.
The Norther rushed through the region and raced off the coast by early Monday morning, sparking rain showers throughout the area. Most areas recorded between about a half of an inch and an inch of rainfall overnight. Some spots near College Station saw about 1.85 inches of rainfall as the front pushed through.
